I don't mean to offend anyone by asking this question, have you seen all the Star Wars episodes or even know the entire plot? If you have which all of you should know, then let me share something with you:

After Old Republic ( time period episode 1 - 6 )Knights Of The Old Republic ( time period anytime before the first episode )

notice the same plot lines!

A.O.R
3 main characters in the first 3 movies
Anakin Skywalker
Obi-Wan-Kenobi
Padme?

then another 3 main charaters in the next 3
Leia Organa - Leia Skywalker
Luke Skywalker
Han Solo

Sith Leader ( he was hiding at first! )
Darth Sidious

Powerful Platform!
Deathstar

Lovers are two of the main characters
Anakin Skywalker and Padma
Han Solo and Leia Organa aka. Skywalker

K.O.T.O.R

Revan
Bastila Shan
Carth Onasi

Sith Leader ( he was hiding at first as well! )
'True Sith' emperor

Powerful Platform
Star Forge

Lovers are two of the main characters
Revan
Bastila Shan

This is the foundation of every star wars major epic event, the sith in A.O.R almsot destroy jedi through planning and secrecy, the Sith are no different in the K.O.T.O.R version, however the Jedi in both of them find themselves regenerating in strength through the cunning and wisdom of ONE jedi, Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan-Kenobi as he dents the Sith's plans to wipe out most of the jedi by killing the apprentice of Darth Sidious but i think it's just Luke Skywalker

My prediction for the outcome of K.O.T.O.R 3; Revan dies by killing the emperor as Anakin did against the Emperor, Bastila survives the war and becomes one of the wisest, and rebellion within the 'True Sith' empire and the Mandalorians
( they act as the Rebellion in the A.O.R ) wipe out the Sith menace and the Sith are reborn through rouge jedi; hint i never said all the Sith would be destroyed after the death of the emperor just nearly all of them and the order of the Sith would be reborn through the rouge jedi.
what do you think?

In this day and age its hard to find something truly unique, so we do what we can by taking what we already have and tweaking it to the best of our ability so its still an enjoyable area to be explored until something new comes along.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow, a mystery. Today is a gift...that is why it is called the present.

There's a fine line between Originality and it ceasing to be Star Wars, If you dont like Cloak and Dagger, recurring motifs and Childhood reminiscences, the Continuity aint for you... well, there is TSL and the NJO though

Yes, because the Star Wars movies are just as dialogue driven and character oriented as TSL was, for sure.

Fact of the matter is, TSL was an original idea, as far as Star Wars is concerned. Maybe not in the concept of the story, fine, but in the fact that the true nature of the story was unveiled through dialogue more than explosions and space battles.

Just let it go, dudes. As long as you enjoy the game, what does it matter? If you find yourself not enjoying the game anymore after figuring out it's not as "original" as you wanted it to be, simply forget about it and move on.

P.S. Bioware obviously made the game similar to OT on purpose - not because they're unable to write something "original".

just get over it its a game
or anything that isn't related to the topic will be given a warning from me from now on, if you do this twice i will report you to the admin for inappropraite replys to a thread and the fact that they aren't even relevant to the thread, i mean come on whats the point giving a complete negative comment to a peson who tries to keep the spark alive, thats what a forum is for, talking and experessing ideas, so please don't do it and think of how others will react before replying, thanks.

Um.. just going off the movies... Luke got pwned by Vader with only 2 weeks training... If I remember it correctly, it was Luke at the end of the second movie with only one hand... Someone feel free to correct me.... If you are talking after that, he continued his training, so you can't say only 2 weeks training.

Vader was the one that defeated the Emperor. Well technically it was Palpy's connection to the reactor that killed him...

your not going off the movies and i was talking about all of the movies, and the emperor knew that Vader could kill him, as he mentioned in the third movie Revenge of the Sith to Yoda,
Lord Palpatine:Lord Vader will become more powerful than either of us,
Yoda: Much Faith in your new apprentice, you have placed
well the dialogue is near enough not exact but you get the picture, this happened when Yoda had just flipped paply off his feet with a force wave ^^ and during their locked light saber stance.
Ow and if you wandering why Vader didn't take his revenge oon paply is because he was driven by anger, the anger which lead to hatred and he wanted to kill every jedi that remained

And what, Bioware was unoriginal because they had a wookiee in their game? What, were there no wookiees in the old republic?

_EW_

According to Canderous she was. I think he meant more of a princessy, "I'm better then you are" attitude.

QFT. Exactly right about the wookies. I suppose next we should oust Bao Dur because he looks too much like Darth Maul (when DS). If there was no wookie, people would complain that the game was not Star Wars-ish enough.

A life debt is a big part of wookie culture so I don't think that it is so strange that they both carry one. How different can you possibly make a wookie though...I thought Zaalbar being a prince would have been difference enough.

Psychological victory is a victory too.
Anyways, he bested Palpatine later in a lightsaber duel as well according to EU.

I'll stick with the argument of Vader owned every single old Republic Jedi and Luke owned Vader.

Expanded Universe? Really? The Prequel Trilogy is given a lot of (undeserved) flak, but Expanded Universe...
It's canon, true, but not to my liking. Really not a good resolution to the dramatic plot of Episodes 1-6.

I found it to be fitting even if one could see it as distasteful. The Prequel Trilogy is given a lot of praise, mostly due to high traffic of new fans of the recent generations. However, it does not mean it isn't deserved -- rather it just gets annoying to me when you can't carry on the conversation by getting in depth with the trilogy that started it all.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow, a mystery. Today is a gift...that is why it is called the present.

I noticed its parallel with the movies whic was one way to get props from its loyal fanbase.

I'm sure if you look it up, one could find an interview with a concept artist/manager hired on to make a central villain that had a familiar feel and presence to Vader--and the emperor to some extent. Hence Darth Malak.

Also the scene where the med droid is removing Malak's jawplate while one of his underlings briefs him was highly reminiscent of the scene in empire strikes back where Vader was meditating without his helmet as an admiral came in to brief him.

And how about at the moment he cheap shotted Mace Windu?
I think mace would have beat the living crap out of Anakin/Vader in human form. Mace'd pwn cybernetic Vader.

Luke only bested Palpatine saber wise with a little help via force augmentation. Which implies to me that Luke (nor Leia) *DID NOT* posses the near unlimited force potential that anakin/vader supposedly had.

Yup.

But it was Luke putting Anakin/Vader to the test--would he really let his own son be murdered by the emperor? Apparently not. At least give Luke *some* credit. Not a lot, just a little bit for pulling out the cog that undid Palpatine's work on Vader.

Though according to EU there had been a few times Vader turned on the emperor. All subtly, save one. Vader was floored in 2 seconds.

Perhaps, but the no jedi robes restriciton w/out mods is a downer to that. Also, Bao Dur was more buff and I suspect taller and heavier. Maul/Ray Park on the other hand......was wiry.

Fur coat variations could help? Maybe?
